History[]
Getter Robo[]
Michiru first appeared when she greeted Ryoma Nagare after he woke up after being treated. She gave him clothes and showed him to her father before they had to run from newts sent by the Dinosaur Empire. Michiru begged Ryoma not to burn Tatsuhito with a flamethrower but her father did so and she boarded the incomplete Getter Robo with her father and Ryoma which took out the rest of the newts. After getting off, Michiru yelled at her father for killing Tatsuhito calling him cruel and heartless not appearing to see the distress her father was going through unlike Ryoma.
Later when Hayato and Musashi joined the Getter Team, Michiru got along with them often spending quality time with the Getter Team and became worried when Ryoma vanished and came back with amnesia. Michiru was a little distressed when Hayato decided to let Ryoma stay outside during the Empire's attack on the lab worrying for his safety. Afterwards, Michiru saves Ryoma from incoming missiles, injuring herself in the process.
Getter Robo G[]
Michiru would play a small role again once going to a party filled with politicians and celebrities with her family and Hayato before it turned out to be a trap by the Hyakki Empire. The Getter Team managed to get their comrades to safety during this.
Michiru would later go on a date with Ryoma after a bet where they encountered an assistant scientist who was transporting the head of Uzahra to the Saotome Institute and hearing the story behind it.
